"Keshich's firstborn undoubtedly already took the reins of the province, my lord," the Chancellor continued his rambling. "If he's a dutiful son, he will finish what his father started. Yet again, I implore you, my lord—speak with the High King. For the sake of all your subjects! Plea that he resolves the issue while this change of circumstances won us some time."
Farini looked at his Chancellor coldly. The man didn't dare to ask Farini to "admit his faults" and become a scapegoat for the entire court; but he clearly had this in mind.
However, he was right that this was his best opportunity for action. Farini could direct his soldiers to Lower Grazahmich and retake the initiative of this small war. Or, he could order to fortify his army's positions while he personally speaks with the High King.
